Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

Chapter 485 - 398: Rectifying the Divine Dynasty, Making a Move in the Primal Wilderness

"However, since chaos is about to begin and people’s hearts are restless, the Divine Dynasty also needs countermeasures. From today, I will order the construction of a Star Reef outside the Celestial Essence Star Zone, establish a Grand Array, continue to open the Merit Mall, and there will be no identity restrictions, allowing any force to continue trading."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

For several years, the Divine Dynasty was no longer mysterious; many things seemed beautiful but were as useless as a chicken rib to them.

For instance, the new Immortal Path. To change cultivation, one must grind down their cultivation and fall from Immortal level, with an uncertain future; not everyone is ruthless enough for this.

For instance, the Human Race Divine Path. They don’t see the many conveniences offered by the Divine Path; on top of that, the constraints and regulations caused widespread disagreement even among their own kind. On the Celestial Capital Star, only a few such as Wu Tianya and the Three Demons still had lingering thoughts about the Celestial Essence Star Realm.

Only the Merit Mall within the Moon Palace Array was indispensable to everyone, firstly because the many resources from the Divine Dynasty were truly tempting, and secondly because, in the chaotic world, it was nearly impossible to maintain business order in such a place.

So be it; when the Blood God Influence comes, they can retreat without any ties.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Zhang Kui said calmly, "Of course, from now on the Celestial Essence Star Zone will also be closed. To join the Divine Dynasty, tribes must be broken apart and managed under the Divine Path. Those unwilling to join can come or go as they please."

Wu Tianya, the Fish Demon Priest, and others also breathed a sigh of relief. All they ever wanted was to join the Celestial Essence Star Realm.

Zhang Kui laid everything out clearly; everyone knew this was perhaps the best outcome, with clear terms, avoiding future conflicts and battles.

After the gathering ended, the Immortals of the Immortal Path Alliance hurriedly left, some to prepare to evacuate from the Moon Palace, while Wu Tianya the Dragon Demon and others left joyfully to transport their people to the Celestial Capital Star.

Soon, tranquility returned to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Zhang Kui looked silently at the starships departing into the starry sky.

Yuan Huang hesitated a moment and then stepped forward to ask, "Sect Leader, after all, a thousand Immortal level beings is a powerful force. Won’t this cause most of them to leave?"

"Forcing unity with differing paths only brings eternal chaos."

Zhang Kui looked steadfastly at the stars, "Ever since the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty was established, it never relied on numbers, but on unity. Those people could share prosperity but not hardship. Let them leave; clear out the tumors for greater agility in the fight!"

"Yes, Sect Leader."

The Immortals remaining from the Divine Dynasty all cupped their hands in salute.

...

What the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty was most proud of was its unimaginable execution power, aided by the Divine Path network.

In less than a month, the Moon Palace Mall had already been relocated, turning once again into an empty city. Meanwhile, outside the Celestial Essence Star Zone, a Star Reef constructed from countless meteorites rose in space, with bustling shops within the Grand Array and starships zipping around.

After Wu Tianya and others led their people into the Star Realm, Zhang Kui announced the complete closure of the Celestial Essence Star Zone.

Some were skeptical; considering the immense size of a Star Zone, how could the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty possibly have enough forces to guard it?

What they didn’t know was that the Human Race Divine Path could already activate the Stargazing Disc to monitor the entire Star Zone, and the Star Shining Thunderfire Shuttle was capable of ultra-long-distance attacks. A few who tried to sneak in were blasted apart along with their starships, and no one dared cross the Thunder Pool again.

Thus, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty became mysterious once more, leaving only the stoic stationed staff outside the Merit Mall in the Star Zone...

...

Once more at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, gathered were the Immortals.

The Divine Dynasty, apart from Yuan Huang and others, had seen over a hundred people become Immortal over the years, added to the more than three hundred Immortal level from the Immortal Path Alliance after its split, making the number much less than before.

However, as Zhang Kui surveyed the scene, he felt satisfied, "Fellow Daoists, all present are our people, and we can speak openly."

Zhang Kui’s expression turned solemn, "Originally, this world was chaotic, and it was right to band together for warmth. But differing hearts inevitably create ugliness, turning into a motley crew. Therefore, I reorganized the Divine Dynasty to seek breakthroughs."

The Fish Demon Priest cupped his hands and said, "You speak rightly, Sect Leader. However, from the descriptions, the Blood God Influence is no small matter, and there is the future threat of the Red Pigeon Army. We are now hemmed in the Celestial Essence Star Zone. How should we respond?"

"No need to hurry."

Zhang Kui laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and a grand star map suddenly appeared in the air above the grass, displaying the scene of the Longevity Star Realm.

"Look, if you compare the Longevity Star Realm to a cosmic chessboard, the Vast Sea Star Realm, Deceitful Immortal, and Blood God Cultists have occupied most of it, step by step extending the battle lines indefinitely. The Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty is the weakest in strength; no matter who wins, we will be forced to retreat, wandering in the void..."

The crowd listened with solemn expressions, knowing Zhang Kui spoke the truth.

"As for breaking the stalemate..."

A smile appeared on Zhang Kui’s lips,

"...it’s about breaking the rules, winning in chaos!"

With that said, Zhang Kui opened his hand, and a disc immediately floated overhead, quietly displaying more than ten shrunken Immortal Gates.

"Immortal Gate?!"

Yuan Huang seemed to understand something, his eyes lighting up.

Zhang Kui nodded, "Indeed, I have deciphered the method of using the Immortal Gates and can resize them at will. This is our greatest advantage. Shrinking is just for gathering strength to launch an attack. From now on, the Celestial Essence Star Zone will be our rear, and the entire Star Realm, even the entire cosmos, is a place for us to make our move."

A glint of excitement flashed in Yuan Huang’s eyes, "Indeed, while our numbers may be insufficient, led by you, Sect Leader, whether exploring Secret Realms or blocking formidable enemies, we fear no force. Once the Immortal Gates open, the Divine Dynasty Fleet will roar like the wind, and the Divine Dynasty will only continue to grow stronger!"

All the Immortals, quick-witted as they were, suddenly understood the key to it all.

The Fish Demon Priest laughed heartily, "Those fools outside probably think the Divine Dynasty is simply isolating itself. Even opening the Mall is just to stabilize and mislead them. But Sect Leader, where should we place the first piece?"

Zhang Kui smiled faintly, pointed his finger, and landed it on the Desolate Ancient Battlefield.

......

Though the plan was set, much preparation was needed.

First was the modification of starships, as the plan heavily depended on starship speed, requiring swift maneuverability. Whether it was the Fish Demon Priest’s Star Whale or the Insect Demon Mothership, the Divine Dynasty Fleet’s Dragon-Body Centipede Starship could only serve as backup forces.

Using Zhang Kui’s Chaos Heaven as a model, ten small Immortal Ships made from Cave Heaven Divine Crystals had already begun to be refined as Immortals’ vehicles. Thanks to years of Merit Mall operation, enough Divine Materials were collected to meet the needs.

Meanwhile, other Divine Dynasty starships also upgraded, equipped with the latest three-core reactors developed by Profound Pavilion, exceeding the speed of other forces.

Secondly, it was unlocking the Beast Bones needed for the Immortal Gate.

Refining the starships was left to Profound Pavilion, which was no longer a problem with many Immortal levels helping, while Zhang Kui once more entered Thundercloud Star...

......

In the Hall’s plaza on the Floating Island of Thunder Department.

Rumble!

A massive Blood Thunder flashed, illuminating the entire world.

Zhang Kui’s eyes rotated with cosmic stars, activating the Observing Through a Wall Immortal Skill, revealing the rift in the Netherworld Realm immediately in front of him.

Withdrawing the Sealing Array, activating the Nether Dragon Pearl, the rift surging and rolling, filled the entire space with disaster and vengeful Qi.

Zhang Kui, without hesitation, flickered and entered.

The Netherworld Realm remained a swirling mass of black clouds and green thunder.

Roar! Boom, boom, boom...

Before Zhang Kui could act, the earth-shattering roar of a beast suddenly erupted. On a distant mountaintop, a hundred-meter-tall one-horned Giant Ape was howling at the sky, pounding its chest, causing tremendous spatial tremors.

"Not a Disaster Beast?"

After probing with Divine Thought, Zhang Kui frowned.

He initially thought it was a Disaster Beast, not expecting the other to be a blood and flesh creature with overflowing Blood Qi, seemingly alerting to his presence.

"Roaring for what?!"

Zhang Kui snorted coldly, his form flickering to appear above the Giant Ape.

Clang!

A massive sword shadow hundreds of meters high shot into the sky, carrying an endless fierce killing intent, seemingly capable of slicing the Giant Ape in half with one strike.

"Spare me, spare me!"

To Zhang Kui’s surprise, the Giant Ape frantically raised its hands and sent a Divine Thought, "Could you be Clan Leader Zhang Kui, my master told me to wait for you here!"

Master?!

Zhang Kui frowned, just about to ask more when, from the Deathly Silence Swamp in the distance, came a roar of laughter and rumbling footsteps. A three-eyed Giant wielding a huge hammer charged over, sending a Divine Thought, "Brother Zhang Kui, you finally came!"

Zhang Kui knitted his brow, then smiled and said, "Clan Leader Tu Shan, it seems you are living quite comfortably..."
